Alright. This place will house all news from credible sources about the new series, which, apparently, is in the works right now, although its birth is yet to be officially confirmed. Note that we will only accept news coming from the sources listed beneath:
    - Magazines
      Newtype
      GundamAce
      BonBon
      Hobby Japan
      Dengeki Hobby
      Animage
      Animedia
      DMHY
      etc.

    - Websites
      MBS
      Bandai
      Char's Blog (one of the few we'll authorize here)
      Nifty

    - Radio
    - Official Seed Club cellphone textmessages
    - Etc.

Which means that individuals like ArseneLupinIII and rumors coming from 2chan, 4chan, blogs and other forums are not welcome here unless there is material behind to back them up and disprove the assumption that they're fake or hearsays. A link or pic of the scan where the info orginated from is required.

    Note: the original list of official sources here is credited to Phione.

We'll start with a few things, ripped off the Gunota boards.

Again take this with a grain of salt.
The following blog has a report/dialog between a customer, store owner, and a Bandai staff member during a Bakuseed (miniature electric motor car) tournament. That, of course, makes this report hearsay but still of interest as far as possible commentary on the state of Gundam at the moment goes:

The Bandai staff member commented that currently DESTINY as a series is unpopular with ratings on a downward trend (see below for that) and merchandise not selling well including Gunpla (something also mentioned at Plamoya-san's Useless Diary). The store owner adds that Bakuseed is outselling Gunpla at his store. The conversation switches to a possible sequel after the customer said "I guess no sequel then. Wanted to see one." The Bandai staff replied that they are currently exploring the idea of another SEED sequel which will again feature Kira and Athrun, concluding a SEED trilogy. The ending of DESTINY will be made so a possibility of sequel can occur. If it were to happen, they won't be doing it until after next year as time slots are all filled up for the 2006-2007 lineup. It is currently set as a trilogy, however more sequels will be made if proven popular.

Ratings are down compared to the first SEED (averaging 5.2% currently), though still better than the 90's Gundams on average. But from another perspective, things look worse when you compare it to the numbers for past MBS shows in the same timeslot (righthand column figures) as DESTINY will have to fight uphill to not wind up with the lowest average ratings.

Moon Phase's miscellaneous notes site reports that Comic Gum's February issue says that Sunrise has greenlit a 3rd Gundam SEED work. No other solid details so far. The news has yet to be mentioned on their main site or their upcoming anime chart.


Now let's just wait and see if SEED-3 will indeed take off or if it's just a wild dream.
And don't forget the above rules.

NO DISCUSSING THE INFO HERE - ANNOUNCEMENTS ONLY!!!!

And, oh, BTW, 'Eternity' is a temporary name - until we get to know the third series' true name, we'll use it to refer to the possible sequel to Destiny. Be on the lookout for more info over this!

Deacky's Edit:: I've added DMHY as a credible source for information as well.

source by column "anime about litlle pain & fine "
GUNDAM SEED team took originality seriously . however Destiny staff
use too many idea from zeta and other gundam series.
Seed 3rd team took originality seriously again like as 1st SEED.

ps: Column editor is hibiki kyoka.
---------------------------------------------------
(hibiki kyoka is famous for being detailed to Gundam stuff team.)

I trust this blog's editor & hibiki.


I put this up for those who wanted to read the announcement.
Mmmh. Note that I have yet to see a SCAN of this - and the mag was apparently released a few days ago but there is still no confirmation of this - and reports on other forums are sketchy. Some say 'yea', some say 'nay, no news yet'.

And another rumor says that someone (on 2chan) already read the next issue of Gundam Ace and said that there wouln't be any Gundam show in 2006. But once again, NO CONFIRMATION FROM THERE. Evil or Very Mad And some of us know how *cough* reliable 2chan is.

@jihoon:
READ THE RULES.
INFO NOT COMING FROM THE SOURCES NAMED IN THE FIRST POST ARE FORBIDDEN HERE AND MUST BE SUBMITTED IN THE RUMORS THREAD FOR "EXAMINATION" (or call it "dissection").
On top of that, that set of 'spoilers' was already discussed in the rumors thread and was already judged as fake.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

BTW.
This comes from Char's blog and as Gunota seems to deem it a reliable/credible/half-official/reliable but unofficial source, I'll let it go here. CB is probably one of the only blogs I'll allow in this area, knowing that Gunota trusts its tidbits.

http://char.2log.net/archives/blog966.html

SEEDが次、どうなるかはまだ発表出来る事はありませんが来年も頑張ります


Translation, credited to boredandsleepy from Animesuki:

"As for the SEED's next series, how it will become is not yet announced but they will work hard on it next year (2006)."


It looks like that SEED-III is getting closer to reality and is losing its status of rumor since we've got at least TWO sources usually cited at Gunota that acknowledge the future existence of SEED III. We'll wait a bit more till we get more OFFICIAL info this time.

I just came back from Japan, and I heard lot of rumors about the new gundam seed trilogy. The rumors are that the title is going to be GUNDAM SEED CHAOS (or sumthing starting with C). Also its going to take place , one or two years where destiney ended, and that its going to air around october or november this year.

Mod edit:
*taps fingers on the keyboard*
*sighs*
*taps again*
Ookay.
Thanks for the trouble and the information, we really appreciate your collecting tidbits of the new SEED work, but, well, you know, this topic is called: OFFICIAL spoilers, tidbits and announcements thread.

Official refers to the info being given by the sources listed above. If you didn't get it from the aforementioned mags/websites then don't post it here but in the rumors thread.

Thanks for the info anyway.

Destiny Special Editions, SEED OVA confirmed UPDATED
Bandai Visual's site put up a listing for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Special Edition: The Broken World, which goes on sale May 26th.

And returning once again to the rumor mill, a post on 2ch contained what appears to be a copy & paste of a sales solicitation for the Destiny Special Edition stating that the Destiny SE's will be 4-parts rather than the traditional 3 for Gundam compilations. Also mentioned is that the Special Edition will be broadcast on TV sometime this Spring. But the bigger potential news is the following detail: "The SEED boom heats up! OVA 'Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer (tentative title)' currently being planned!"

Edit: The listing for the SE at Aishin Mail Order's Rakuten site confirms all the above information.


Edit:
Here's the info found on the site that Gunota linked to:

Here's some more information from the article::

深宇宙探査・開発機関
Deep Space InveStigation Development organization (DSSD) - I'm guessing at the acronym name from that translation.

According to the article, Selene is apparently apart of a group called DSSD whose main objective is the "GSX-401FW Stargazar Project." She has egocentric tendancies from time to time despite her intelligence.

As for Sven, apparently his unit holds an unusual relentlessness of hatred towards Coordinators (something that is programmed in perhaps?)

It takes place IMMEDIATELY after the Break the World event.

Stargazer is the name of an "all-white" mobile suit.

The integrated performance of the 105E was redone at the Aktaion Industries. Woo! Go Astray reference!

Just a bedraggled and worn out hello from me as I plough through office assignments, one right after the other:

Fresh from Gunota:

- Stargazer, new hobby merchandise info
Hobby Shop Midori put up official pics and info for a number of new and previously announced items.

New formal announcements:
HG Strike Noir (June, 1,575 yen)
(...)

HG kits for new Stargazer MS will be made through 2007. More CCA HCM-Pro figures will appear.

Stargazer info:
Boasts more than six new mecha, two of which are affiliated with ZAFT, one from DSSD, and two from the Alliance's Phantom Pain (the Strike Noir itself is listed with Orb). The kit description says that the Noir Striker backpack can change into a flight form. The Strike Noir comes with beam swords, listed as its main armament, and a small rocket anchor.


Small pics to report:

Well, the official Gundam Seed Stargazer site is open! If someone could translate the articles for us English speakers here, we would be very grateful.


http://www.seed-stargazer.net/


Also, a nice image of Stike Noir from the site.



Sorry, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to thumbnail it, and if I am, I'm not sure how to/where. If a mod deems necessary, the image can be thumbnailed.

If you want hotlink for the image, it's at http://www.seed-stargazer.net/mechanics/images/phantompain/strike_noir_04.gif

Edit: Crappy translation by babelfish of the text on the Strike Noir page, which, as we now know, belongs to Phantom Pain.

The terrestrial allied forces 81st independent movement group (the alias phantom pain) the mobile suit which specializes in the close-range battle which is disposed.
With the derivative machine which designates X105 strike as the base, as for the operator スウェン カル バヤン lieutenant junior grade. Improvement measure of comprehensive efficiency of the fuselage is administered by the アクタイオン industry corporation.

Translation of Sven (I think?)'s blurb:

19 year old men, natural.
Terrestrial allied forces 81st independent movement group, alias "phantom pain" lieutenant junior grade.
Mobile suit GAT - X105E strike black pilot.
The special game mobile suit platoon is formed with the other 2 person and 3 people.
Young time, with you eat the involvement of a certain incident, lose the parents and become the orphan. After that, you have belonged to the phantom pain as an elite aggressive necessary personnel of coordinator annihilation game. The reason which holds strong hatred vis-a-vis the coordinator the ・ ・ ・. and past of the coldhearted cold-hearted aggressive machine the ・ ・ ・.

and a translation of the girl's blurb:

"The person must aim toward outer space,". This one language, is conduct principle of セレーネ. As many of the staff of DSSD so been, with the space origin space being brought up, also the parents and were the staff of DSSD.
It is wise, but a little self central tendency is strong.

There is a strength of the will which being criticized because of the expedient is not feared. The time being attack, if in reason of the character whose it is many to ignore the intention of the partner, it tries making this person, reluctance romantic love unskillfulness. With say, as for DSSD, because it is the organization where the eccentric ratio in staff constituting quite is high, it is not the case that セレーネ has changed especially.


Mods, feel free to edit this post any way you wish. I just wanted to convey the information that the site was open.

Credit to Gunota

Info from the official site which opened today:

Organizations:
Deep Space Survey and Development Organization (DSSD) - A group founded to survey & develop regions beyond the orbit of Mars. The Earth Alliance, PLANT, and neutral powers cooperated in its establishment though it is neutral with regard to the Alliance & ZAFT and has special jurisdiction. The fundamental principle is "The advancement of frontiers": to transcend all countries, organizations, religions, and races, sending that doctrine from the human species out to the far-reaches of space.

Phantom Pain - A special military force that answers to Logos, Blue Cosmos' supreme governing organization. The unit is a private army organized by Blue Cosmos. Blue Cosmos, thus far not getting the depended on military power from the Earth Alliance, formed the group as a way of directly embodying their personal intentions. Phantom Pain's parent organization is comprised of Alliance personnel & equipment. Notices issued from the Earth Alliance's upper echelon, in situations where goods and personnel are requested by Phantom Pain, are informal but are to be responded to without delay. With that assistance, Phanton Pain can take in provisions and furnishings wherever they go. But only Logos and representatives of Logos possess command authority over them. Even within the Alliance, only a tiny few of its leaders are aware of the particulars regarding Phantom Pain. As a private army, they aren't bound by the armistice treaty entered into by the Alliance and ZAFT. The treaty prohibits both the Alliance and ZAFT from having N-Jammer Cancellers, nuclear weapons, Mirage Colloid, loading ships with Phase Shift armor, and possessing nuclear-powered mobile suits but Phantom Pain disregards that and executes operations using ships that carry such things. And since they are funded behind the scenes by Blue Cosmos, the equipment they get is radical but extravagant.

Mecha:
GSX-401FW Stargazer - Affilated with DSSD.

GAT-X105E Strike Noir - A mobile suit specializing in close-range combat deployed by the Earth Alliance's 81st Independent Mobile Battalion (aka Phantom Pain). It's based on the X105 Strike and piloted by lieutenant junior grade Sven Cal Bayan. Integrated performance improvement measures on the unit were conducted by Actaeon Industries.

Characters:
Selene McGriff - 28-year-old female Coordinator. One of the engineering staff on the DSSD engineering development's GSX-401FW Stargazer Project. "Mankind must set out to space." Those words are Selene's guiding principle. As is the case with many DSSD staff, she was born and raised in space and her parents are also members. Bright but has a strong tendency to be somewhat egotistical. Once she decides what her goal is, she won't be happy until she achieves it and, that being the case, she won't choose a way of meeting her objectives without great effort. Strong-minded and unafraid of being criticized for her methods. Aggressive at times and, as a result, much of her nature is to disregard her partner's ideas though if someone tries that with her, she'll be reluctant and impassionate. Nevertheless, since the DSSD is an organization with a high ratio of eccentrics and freaks among the personnel, Selene hasn't especially changed.

Sven Cal Bayan - 19-year-old male Natural. A lieutenant junior grade in the Earth Alliance's 81st Independent Mobile Battalion (Phantom Pain). Pilot of the mobile suit GAT-X105E Strike Noir. Part of a special combat MS platoon with another 2-3 people. Orphaned due to an incident when he was very young. Afterwards, he became affiliated with Phantom Pain as an elite combat member for Coordinator extermination warfare. What's the reason for his intense hatred of Coordinators...and what is the past of this cruel fighting machine?

DSSD deep space exploration development mechanism (Deep Space Survey and Development Organization - - alias DSSD), the inquiry and development of Mars tracked beyond territory it is the system which is established to purpose. Terrestrial combination, the plant and the nonalignment neutral national group being joint, with the organization which participated in establishment, it has neutrality and special authority vis-a-vis both camps of terrestrial combination and ザフト. The basic idea "advance of the frontier" - - namely all nations, transcended system, religion and race, you call the mankind, from it designates that it sends out "kind" to distant outer space as basic idea.

Phantom Pain information translation

The "phantom pain" is the irregular special force which belongs to the highest decision making system "logos" of the blue cosmos. This unit is my soldier group which the blue cosmos forms privately. So far, the blue cosmos which it cannot avoid depending on the terrestrial allied forces, is the military affairs fighting group which produces the fact that intention of the self is embodied directly as purpose in use of military force. The parent of organization of the phantom pain is formed the staff of the terrestrial allied forces, by the equipment and material. From the terrestrial allied forces higher stratum of society section "when offer of the goods staff was required from the phantom pain, the fact that it responds to this rapidly", it is informal, but the communication which is hard to disagree is given out. With the favor, as for the phantom pain it is possible to receive the offer of limitless convenience with the future which goes. But, those where it has command authority vis-a-vis this unit are only the person who represents logos and logos. In addition the person who knows the phantom pain concerning details is only extremely small-numbered staff even inside the allied forces. The phantom pain which is my soldier group there are no times when it is bound in the suspension of hostilities treaty which terrestrial combination and ザフト conclude. Treaty, has prohibited the possession of the space battleship and the nuclear drive mobile suit which both of combined ザフト load equipment such as N jammer canceler and nuclear weapon, mirage colloid and PS armoring, but, the phantom pain ignoring that, accomplishes the maneuvers with the vessels which load these. In addition, because abundant fund of the blue cosmos is designated as the background, the equipment and luxurious is acutest.

Someone had posted this could you check it out?
This info comes from reports on Japanese blogs [mainly the Char’s Custom Blog] about the SEED DESTINY MSV Vol.2 mook that was released in the end of March.

- M2 Astray was deleted from the MSV development chart. Apparently this MSV will never be released and was kicked out of the canon.

- Features line art of the Hospital ZAKU Warrior that Michael Coast piloted in the DESTINY Astray photo novel.

- Links an unknown DSSD mobile suit [Stargazer?] to the development of Strike Freedom Gundam.

- Establishes that the DSSD contributed to the development of Testament Gundam and the Out Frame Astray.

- Say that the G-FLIGHT was originally conceived as equipment for ZAFT mobile suits particularly the Gundams.

- Once more they say that the DSSD developed the DOM Trooper used by the Black Trinary from plans of the original ZAFT prototype.

- A DRAGOON Flyer for the Impulse Gundam was considered by the ZAFT for a new Impulse Silhouette.

- Murasame was the result of research on flight capabilities for the M1 Astray.

- Confirms that Akatsuki was developed based on Strike Gundam and apparently with collaboration of Jean Carrey.

- Wild Dagger was based on the Gaia Gundam and the Dagger L while the N Dagger N was based on the Blitz Gundam and the 105 Dagger.

- Exass was a development of the Gunbarrel Striker. Euclid is the successor of the Moebius. Gells-Ghe and Zamza-Zah are developments of the Moebius concept.

- Destroy Gundam was developed by the Aducarf Mechano Industries like the Zamza-Zah and the Gells-Ghe.

- All the three Stargazer suits [Strike Noir, Duel Modified, and Buster Modified] are one-off suits based on the originals.

About MVF-M12A Ootsukigata
- Space variant of the MVF-M11C Murasame.

- Capable of multi-lock like the Freedom Gundam.

- Equip Rail Guns. The 66A Hayate air-to-air missiles were removed instead it equips a cooling system.

- The MS form is secondary. It’s a Transformable Mobile Armor instead.

- All the units were stationed in the Izumo-class Susanoo and Tsukyomi on the free city of Copernicus as part as the reserve forces of the Orb Space Army.

- The Messiah War takes place in Cosmic Era 74.

- Japan was one of the founding countries of the United Emirates of Orb.


Mod edit: unless you are really certain of these pieces of information, please do NOT post them here until you've got a link or a scan to back them up.
Ah, wait, you cited Char's Blog...alright - but if you're not sure, then post it in the rumors report thread and when you get the confirmation, then repost it here. Thanks a lot!

New update from Gunota
Stargazer site update
Mecha:
Blu Duel
"A unit developed by Actaeon Industries based on the GAT-X102 Duel. Its back is equipped with large thrusters and is enhanced with exceptional mobility and armor. Excels in close-quarters combat with weapons concealed inside its shoulder armor, arms, and underside of its shield. Further, in contrast to the Assault Shroud on ZAFT's original Duel, the Blu Duel's reinforced armored entire body has PS armor."

Verde Buster
"A unit developed by Actaeon Industries based on the GAT-X103 Buster. The cannons that were on its hips were moved to the shoulders so the hips were equipped with newly developed beam cannons. With the increase in firepower, reinforced armor, and its bayonettes, it's close-combat ability has been upped considerably."

Characters:
Edmund du Clos (in addition to previously posted info)
"Bachelor. Retired from the army when the war ended in C.E. 71 and was appointed security personnel in the DSSD's Technology Development Center on the outskirts of Fortaleza, South America. At the time he retired, he had been a lieutenant commander. Has a strong sense of responsibility and takes good care of others. Because of that, he is the kind of person who gets unnecessarily involved in things. And so when his sister's son was orphaned, he offered to raise the boy himself. As someone who was once a soldier, he naturally has much resentment towards his ZAFT battlefield rivals."

Mudie Holcroft
Shams Coza

I'd just like to point out that the G-Festival occurs in August, whereas Stargazer starts airing in July, so the first ep won't really be anything special.
